Food, clothing and shelter constitute the three most fundamental requirements for any human being. If viewed in a very general sense, the term shelter would imply a four-walled and roofed structure in which one can reside. However, in a more profound sense, a shelter is a sanctuary or refuge for protecting oneself and feeling secure, constituting a crucial component of any person’s physical and mental wellbeing. When hale and hearty adult individuals cannot do without the feeling of security provided by a shelter, would orphaned and abandoned children affected and infected by HIV and AIDS be demanding too much if they ask for a safe haven over their heads?
